Numbered FreeCell deals
Microsoft FreeCell Game Numbers: Replay Classic Deals
A Microsoft game number is a deterministic seed. Entering the same number recreates the same 52-card layout across compatible FreeCell games.
How numbered deals work
The classic Microsoft shuffle uses the game number to generate and deal the cards across eight cascades.
- Same number, same opening
- Deals 1–32,000 are the original set
- Later Windows versions extended the set to one million
Replay or share any deal
Enter a number in the game-number box or share the deal URL. The recipient opens the exact same starting board.
- Compare different solutions
- Retry a difficult deal
- Share without an account
Know the famous exceptions
Almost every Microsoft deal is solvable, but a small published set is known to be impossible under standard rules.
- #11982 is the famous original exception
- The game labels known exceptions honestly
- A solvable opening can still be played into a dead end
